Ross welcomes Matt Hardy to the show.
Ross asks Hardy if there’s any resentment in the locker room towards veterans returning on a part time schedule and taking main event positions. Hardy says that everyone needs to look at it like a business, and most people in the locker room recognize that. He notes that if the young guys are smart they’ll learn from these veterans when they return on a part time basis.
Hardy adds that the legends need to be used in the right way when they return in order to maximize their value. He points out that Triple H has been very giving in the way he’s been booked the last couple WrestleManias. He’s allowing young talents to shine and is helping them move up the ladder.

Hardy says he loved working with guys like The Undertaker and Eddie Guerrero. He says that Guerrero was unreal in the ring, and could read the crowd like no other. Guerrero was able put a different spin on a match every single night, and he learned so much from him.
Ross asks Hardy how long he thinks his brother, Jeff will continue wrestling. Hardy mentions that Jeff was gifted with an amazing ability to stay healthy, and he has somewhat of an indestructible body. He suspects Jeff will wrestle another couple of years before hanging up his boots.
Woken Matt Hardy makes a brief appearance to promote the upcoming House Hardy Halloween Special that will air in the coming weeks on the WWE Network. He notes that this special will be quite entertaining, and will focus around a “dark force” that attacked the Hardy compound.
That sums up this week’s episode of The Jim Ross Report. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
